Dear Diary,

Again, it has been a long time since I've written. Maybe I should get an award for forgetting!! There are some things I should catch you up on.

1. School is out now.

2. My friend Mindy,from church, is going with my cousin James. (Lance's brother)

3. James is going to get his drivers license this summer so they will be able to go on real dates! We are going to have so much more to talk about during church!!

4. Starting on June 5th, I am going to a type of summer school for smart people.

5. Mindy told me that Dax has moved to either Illinois or Missouri. She is going to get me his new address soon.

That's about it. I guess. We spent the day at Granny's. Lance and Cory (Lance's little brother) had a boy over named Tyler. Tyler seemed to like Lucy but Lucy didn't like him. I'm not sure why, he seemed okay for a little kid.



OK, ok... Laugh a little.

I am out of school for the summer but have opted to go back to school. I guess I was kind of a nerd. (Not the pocket protector, thick glasses kind but the cute, lovable kind) My school called this Enrichment. I have heard that other schools have similar programs. Many of my friends went too, so being "enriched" all summer didn't seem so bad. We dissected things, did fun science experiments that were too messy or complex to mess with during the actual school year, we had lots of guest speakers and went on endless field trips. Call me crazy but it was fun.

Most disturbing but not surprising is that I am still chasing after Dax - or the idea of him. What was I thinking? He had not written me once but I was in full pursuit of finding his address so I could send him another childish love letter. For all I knew he had moved just to hide from my silly letters. Where is my dignity? Where is my pride?

Lesson: love makes you do stupid things no matter what your age. There is no dignity and no pride when you think you are in love. That's part of the reason it hurts so bad at times.
